I have a female dog that had puppies 6 weeks ago. She is no longer nursing them, but she is extreamly skinny, and cant get enough to eat

I recommend getting her seen by your vet for an exam and bloodwork. She could have parasites, also, voracious appetite without weight gain or weight loss is a sign of diabetes. It could be that the pups have worn her out. She should have been eating puppy food the whole time she was pregnant and nursing. If she was not, this could be partly responsible for her thin condition. Your vet will give you a treatment plan, based on the findings.

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Rumple. From your pictures of him (he's a cutie!), it does look like he's a little thin, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. I think having a check up by the vet is the best idea. It is concerning that he's not eating breakfast and only eats a little bit of dinner. There could be a number of reasons behind this decreased appetite such as dental problems, intestinal worms, or a systemic illness to name a few. Having him checked out by the vet will identify why he's not eating as much, and how to help him so that he can gain more weight and get to a healthy weight. I would take him into a vet tomorrow if possible. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

I recommend to increase his food by 1/4 - 1/2 cup per day. If he is still looking thin, increase it again. Also make sure he does not have parasites that could be stealing his nutrition. Lastly, make sure to have your vet give their opinion. Puppies do go through a lanky stage when they are growing quickly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
